About CALLmeKAT
Known for her melancholic, alternative pop CALLmeKAT is the moniker of Danish singer, keyboardista and composer Katrine Ottosen.
With her vintage keyboards and a voice that sets her apart from the masses she creates music where live samples meets haunting bass lines, team up with a broken omnichord and end up dancing together in the night.
Through word-of-mouth, she is drawing crowds in clubs throughout Germany, Benelux, France, Switzerland and Austria and all before an official international album release.
In 2008 CALLmeKAT released 'I'm In A Polaroid Where Are You?' (EP) and 'Fall Down'. Both of which made the press in her native Denmark fall head over heels proclaiming:
"definitely among the Danish debut albums of the year" Berlingske Tidende
"the Danish discovery of the year" Urban
"one of the most seductive voices to enter the scene…" Jyllandsposten
" A whole new special star has been born with Kat " Alt for damerne
The word has also spread to the U.S. with nods in Billboard, Spinner, and Interview.
Since her two 2008-releases, CALLmeKAT has toured as a solo headliner, opened for artists such as Au Revoir Simone, Okkervil River, Nouvelle Vague, The Dø and Sebastien Tellier and played numerous festivals including SXSW, NXNE (Canada), EuroSonic, Northside Festival (NY) and CMJ (NY). At the 2010 SXSW Festival CALLmeKAT was invited to perform on NPR's All Things Considered followed by a pick on Bob Boilen and Robin Hilton's (NPR) "Who We Liked-list".
Living in New York for most of 2010, Ottosen collaborated with Joe Magistro (Prophet Omega, The Black Crowes) on finishing her international debut “When Owls Are Out” Mastered by Chris Athens of Sterling Sound, NYC. A hand numbered, limited first edition will be for sale exclusively at CMK shows and at select stores, in 2011.
